Re: [GNC] How do I do a back up of Gnucash? Dan,Your main data file (set of 
books is stored at a location you will havedecided on when you first ran 
GnuCash and did a File->Save to somespecific location on a hard drive. GunCash 
by default creates backupfiles of that file and log files which are useful in 
the event a crashcauses corruption of the main data file.The main data file 
will be named <filename>.gnucash where <filename> isthe name you have given the 
file.The backup files will be named <filename>.gnucash.<timestamp>.gnucashand 
the log files will be named<filename>.gnucash.<timestamp>.log.<timestamp> is 1 
14 characcter numerical string giving the date(yearmonth and day and time 
(hours, min, sec) of creation of the file in theformat YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. If you 
move the file(s) to another locationGnuCash will not find them when you start 
it again and you can useFile_Open to navigate to the new location and open 
the<filename>.gnucash file.  You would only access the backup and logfiles 
after having a system crash where the <filename>.gnucash becomescorrupted.It is 
generally recommended that you create a folder/directory (it canbe named 
<filename>) and place all of the above files with <filename>.*in that 
directory.  This simplifies backup of the files to anotherdevice as you simply 
backup the whole directory. In addition there is user preference data 
(including saved reports etc)and configuartion data as described on the wiki 
page. About half waydown that page under the heading Diagrams of Configuration 
LocationsYou will find links to diagrams showing the locations of that data 
inthe file heirarchy. You may wish to backup  the data in  c:\Documentsand 
Settings\<user>\\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash to preserve the userpreference 
dataThere is no problem locating the main data file in any locationaccessible 
from your file system including cloud locations, Dropboxes,Network file storage 
etc. MOve it and then use the File->Open dialogueto find and open itDavid
